Original Poem By Lucy Larcom. Written for the Danvers Improvement Society's Observation of Arbor Day, 1890. Let us take a trip, in rhyme, To the old Colonial time. In his shallop, from the Bay, Came the Governor one day, Up the slow tide of the creek, On its inland shores to seek--May be--just an hour of rest From the homesick groups that pressed Round him everywhere he went, In the new-born settlement. Governors, we are aware, Though they shirk no public care, Though they hold the people dear, Do not always want them near; Sometimes they must draw apart From the crowd, to read its heart. Landing on a green slope's side, Gazing round the region wide, Over wind-swept forests free, Down the inlet to the sea, Quoth the Governor, " What harm, If I here lay out my farm, Plant my orchards, sow my maize, And in peace live out my days? In my little sloop sail down, When I must, to Salem town, Ruling the good folk as well As if I should with them dwell." Grave old Governor Endicott Always did the thing he thought--Finished what he had begun--Did it, if it could be done. So this deed he planned was wrought; Birchwood for his farm he bought, Where the yeoman felled his wood--Site whereon his mansion stood--Shaded spring whereof he drank, On the pleasant willow-bank; By these tokens you may trace Endicott's abiding-place. Up and down his grape-vine walk, Pacing silent, or in talk With retainer, friend, or guest, Or, perchance, with boyish zest, Tasting some new-flavored fruit That within his grounds had root, --Fancy paiuts the Governor Who is best remembered for Something all can do, who please: His delight was--planting trees. Trees he planted, trees he sold, Not for silver nor for gold, But for soil to set them in; Two trees...

Download or read book Danvers written by Richard B. Trask and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their introduction in the late nineteenth century, picture postcards have been a souvenir staple in every American community. These practical, yet collectable mailers promote local businesses and tourism, and celebrate historic and scenic localities. Danvers, known as Salem Village during the infamous 1692 witch-hunt, became an independent town in the 1750s. By the twentieth century, local boosters spotlighted the town's rich architectural heritage, local institutions, and vibrant business district by producing a variety of postcard views. Ancient saltbox houses associated with the witchcraft days, eighteenth-century gambrel-roofed dwellings that sheltered Revolutionary War patriots, the mansion occupied by famed poet John Greenleaf Whittier, and the Danvers Insane Asylum, a majestic state-operated facility, were frequent postcard subjects. This book samples the best of Danvers's twentieth-century postcard heritage.
Download or read book Malden written by Malden Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the turn of the 20th century, Malden had become a fairly large city and was home to wealthy families, immigrants, and workers. Farms disappeared as factories and businesses of all types and sizes grew. Elisha Converse, the city's first mayor and founder of the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, left his mark on Malden by funding a public library and hospital and designating land for development of Pine Banks Park. A vibrant downtown emerged at the intersection of two colonial roads. It became a regional center of shopping and commerce as well as a hub for transportation by train, trolley, or automobile. The early 1900s were marked by the construction of grand residences, business buildings, numerous parks and churches, and many schools. However, by mid-century, many of these institutions had undergone great change, if they had not entirely disappeared.

Download or read book Brattleboro written by Brattleboro Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000-10-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brattleboro, lies in the southeast corner of Vermont, just nine miles north of the Massachusetts border and directly across the Connecticut River from New Hampshire. The community developed in the 1760s, when European American settlers established homes in the river valley. Brattleboro was ideal for settlement because of its topography. The Whetstone Brook, which runs from the foothills of the Green Mountains through Brattleboro, provided a major source of waterpower, and the Connecticut River offered an ideal transportation route for sending finished products via flat-bottomed boat to market in southern New England and New York. Brattleboro presents the story of its people, who from the beginning have exhibited and benefited from a positive philosophy toward life. In the mid-1800s, railroad service came to the area and Brattleboro developed as a center for commerce, health spas, and literary activities. Factories manufacturing organs, toys, and furniture thrived. Printing and publishing industries, as well as literary societies flourished. Hotels opened, and visitors arrived to do business or just to avail themselves of the town's many advantages. To this day, the area continues to enjoy a stable economy.
